Once or twice a week I play one pocket against the same guy, he is a beast to beat. But sometimes when he is losing, he will go off that the table is off, the pocket is defective, yesterday I played very well and he made comments about how did I get in stroke,etc on and on. So almost every time...

My cue repair guy replaced a damaged ferrule and installed a medium Cuesoul tip. I think a long time ago I tried this tip but can't remember. It seems to be ok but has anyone used this tip before? Pretty cheap at about $7 plus install.

My cue repair guy just put a leather wrap that I supplied on my cue. He had to remove the linen and replace with leather for a very reasonable $50. My question is he said it takes him 4 hours to do the job, is this about right?

Last night was the 8-ball league payout, my team came in first again this session to a good natured (I think) round of boos. I was crowned the King of break and runs with 10. Today I played one pocket with my normal opponent and beat him 6 straight games while occasionally mentioning how good it...

I play one pocket every Saturday with the same guy and usually we break even or one of us is up a game or two. My Fargo is 576 his is 554 so we are pretty close. The only advantage he has is that he banks a little better than me and I try not to leave an easy bank or if no choice I try to leave...

I play in an 8-ball league on Tuesday nights. On Monday my rate was 575 last night I won all 5 games and this morning my rate dropped to 572?

A friend of mine got a set of balls for Xmas. This saturday he forgot to bring them to the room.So the question is can he leave them in the car 24/7 with temperatures here in Colorado getting down well below freezing at times. Will very cold balls shatter when hit hard?

I know this subject has been beat to death but here is my personal take on it. I have been using solid tips for many years. Recently I decided to give a layered tip a try. I had an Everest installed and can not tell the difference from a solid tip. The layered tip was $40 installed vs a solid...

A league team mate showed me a cue that he bought at a yard sale. He said there were a group of crap cues and the old man running the sale said he had another cue in the house. He brings out an old soft case and my friend pulls it out and it's a Joss with CNC points and he says how much? The...

I just came across something that allegedly Buddy Hall said regarding how to power draw. He said to grip the cue a little farther back and move the bridge hand a little closer to the cue ball. What do you think?

Couple months ago I got a real nice used Phillippi cue with 2 shafts. Both shafts have unknown layered tips. One tip was pretty tall and dime shaped,the other half worn and nickel shaped. The larger tip was dime shaped so I cut a bit of and reshaped it with sand paper and used a Willards tip...

A guy at the room showed me a cue he said was a real Southwest. It looked like a real one but I know there have been copies made. It had a brass pin but no Cactus or number on it. ??????????????????????????

A friend of mine was recently on the east coast and visited a legendary cue maker he knows. He said that the cue maker had a cue loaded with Ivory for a collector in Japan. I asked how was he going to get that cue by customs and he said that it would be sent Fedex and there would be no problem...

The pool room just yesterday installed new Simonis 860 on the Diamond 9 foot tables. Will new cloth on the rails changes banking angles until it's broken in?

I have cue with a very light color linen and keeping it clean is a hassle. After I clean it what do I use to seal it? I would really like to spray it with a rattle can or?

I've been playing a guy 8-6 and beating him really bad. We adjusted to 9-6 and Friday I won 6 games,what now? 10-6 or 9-6 and the break? We are senior friends and only play for $5 a game but still I want him to have a chance.

A guy at the pool room got this cue from a deceased friend family. Who made It ? Approx. age? Approx value? It's in great shape.
